| a complex of species related to paradiscogaster glebulae (digenea: faustulidae) in chaetodontid fishes (teleostei: perciformes) of the great barrier reef. | a total of 1523 individuals of 34 species of chaetodontids from the great barrier reef were examined for faustulid trematodes. specimens resembling paradiscogaster glebulae bray, cribb & barker, 1994 were found in nine chaetodontid species at three localities. these specimens are shown, on the basis of combined morphological and molecular analyses, to comprise a complex of morphologically similar and partly cryptic species. the complex may comprise as many as six distinct species of which three ... | 2015 | 26096311 |
| cryptic dietary components reduce dietary overlap among sympatric butterflyfishes (chaetodontidae). | this study used three different methods to ascertain dietary composition for 21 chaetodontidae species co-occurring on a single fringing reef in derawan island, east kalimantan, indonesia. the combination of in situ feeding observations, examination of gut contents and stable-isotope analyses was expected to identify previously unresolved prey items that contribute to dietary separation. in situ feeding observations identified five species that feed predominantly on anthozoans (chaetodon barones ... | 2009 | 20738604 |
